In regards to:

"Currently, one downside is that ALL classes extending FragmentActivity are MapActivitys. Its possible to make a separate class (i.e. FragmentMapActivity), but it requires some refactoring of the FragmentActivity code.

Feel free to file a bug to request it or fork this project to fix it."

I would love to see an implementation of this project that supports FragmentActivity(s) both with and without extending MapView. Unfortunately Google's limitation of allowing only one MapActivity per process makes things quite awkward. Effectively I can only have one FragmentActivity per process.

I'm going to try including both the Compatability package from Google, and this one. I think that may allow me to have my cake and eat it too, but I did want to express that there are definitely people interested in this functionality.
